1 site · RV1 acre · Grand Junction, CO

Property is owned by a younger married couple. We love the Grand Valley and hope you want to come explore all the beautiful canyons and trails. Let us know if you need recommendations for anything. Learn more about this land: This is a single spot available for $43/night. There is a 30A RV hookup and it is pet friendly with a fenced yard for your furry friends. Close to a grocery store, restaurants, and a coffee shop. The site is located on the back of a private residence, so there are quiet hours. This site is generally for people who want to ride their bicycles on the world class Lunch Loops (less than a mile away) or explore the canyons of the surrounding area and need a place to crash. The camping area is quiet and private; we are pretty much your only neighbors. Site is limited to camper vans, truck campers, smaller travel trailers, Class C RVs or smaller. Rigs longer than 25' are not recommended due to space due to maneuvering logistics. If you do have a 25'+ rig be warned - the parking may be tight and will require you to have a sidekick to help you back in. If we are home we can assist. There is a hose and water available to fill up water jugs - please inquire. We love this area and know it well, so we will gladly provide any information about food, hiking, or fun activities for you and your loved ones. Also please inquire about fresh eggs - we have fenced-in chickens out back (all hens, no loud roosters) and are happy to provide when possible! We have 2 honeybee hives that will be fenced in the back corner of the yard. The hive entrances are facing away from camp, so the bees' flight path will not interfere with you hanging out. The fence is designed to keep out any animals, children, or people, deterring them from getting close access to the hives. Honeybees do not sting unless defending their hive, however, if you have a bee allergy, just be aware that this should be a considered factor! Please ask any questions you feel necessary.

To consider: Our place is great but not for everyone. We have three convenient sites, all with electricity and water and one with sewage. They all have great views and are very close to the town of Fruita. Every hipcampers can enjoy the beach and the lake between mid-May and October when its full. The property is used by THE GONDOLA SHOP, which restores ski gondolas. Monday to Friday, you might hear some light noise and see employees walking around. For that reason and the potential hazard YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU HAVE SOME on our property. We ask that all vehicles drive no faster than 10 miles per hour for the same reason. We will consider a group of campers or mix camper/tents roof tents as long as you have your own bathroom to share. Please email us with any requests you might have. We are open to discussing any inquiries. Between May and October, when our lake is full and usable, our place is great for gatherings and a big BBQ.
